Today Tage and I were in town to take Ola to the vet. We were in the car waiting to make a left turn and there was a man who looked as though he wanted to cross the street. I stopped to wait, but then he stopped. I started moving again, then he started, too. I stopped again, and he stopped. Exasperated, I said out loud, “Are you going to cross or what?” as I waved to him to go.<\/p>\n
From the backseat Tage asked, “Who are you talking to?”<\/p>\n
“Oh, just that guy,” I answered.<\/p>\n
“That guy,” Tage said, then waited a beat. “What’s his name?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t know. I don’t know who he is.”<\/p>\n
“But what’s his name?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t know.”<\/p>\n
“The guy … what’s his name?”<\/p>\n
“I said I don’t know.”<\/p>\n
“WHAT’S HIS NAME??”<\/p>\n
Sigh. “Joe.”<\/p>\n
“Okay. Joe.”<\/p>\n
I had just finished cooking dinner and everything was still sitting on the stove. Petra was fussy\/tired\/hungry so I went to lie down on the bed with her and called out to the kids, “Dad will help you guys dish up.”<\/p>\n
Tage came in looking indignant. “We’re not guys. We’re children<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
“Pardon me,” I said. “Dad will help you children dish up.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
